Say it ain’t so: Weezer are coming to 2017 Kaaboo Del Mar. In the first lineup announcement for the annual festival’s third installment, organizers have named the beloved alt-rock group -- famous for hits like “Buddy Holly,” “Beverly Hills,” “Hash Pipe” and “Undone: The Sweater Song” -- as part of the lineup.

Kaaboo, which takes place at the Del Mar Racetrack & Fairgrounds on Sept. 15-17 this year, has become San Diego’s de facto music festival with its inaugural 2015 fest featuring No Doubt, Snoop Dogg, the Zac Brown Band, and the Killers as headliners; and Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffett, Fall Out Boy and Jack Johnson as the top marquee names in last year’s follow-up.

While mum’s been the word on its 2017 lineup, Kaaboo organizers did announce several changes coming to this year’s festival that we reported on back in November -- including security and safety upgrades, a focus on improving traffic around its Del Mar location, relocating stages to quell packed crowds, adding bars, and even more of those much-loved flushing restrooms. Their goal? Creating the most enjoyable festival experience in the world.

However, we all know that the strength of a music festival depends primarily on its lineup so with the addition of Weezer (who typically make at least one sold-out San Diego tour stop per year), this year's festival is already off to a very promising start. Organizers have said the full lineup will be announced on March 23, so stay tuned to SoundDiego for further news and updates.
